Chapter 1133 (1/2)

Although he is more than 70 years old, but from this old man, we can not see that many old people should be stable. Whether it's the posture of walking or the habit of looking right, it looks like a 16-7-year-old child.

But think about it. Jiang Chen asked himself that if he had worked in a wheelchair for decades, he would be more active than him.

Just as Jiang Chen looked at the old man's back, Hawking turned his head and looked at him with his slightly funny face.

”Well, Mr. executive, if you have any questions, you'd better ask them as soon as possible. You are a big man of hundreds of thousands of people a second. You should not waste too much time on campus. ”

Jiang Chen gave a noncommittal smile. After pondering for a moment, he began to ask.

”3.7 billion years ago, what would civilization look like if it had existed for 3.7 billion years?”

”It's an interesting question. What do you think dinosaurs will become if they are given 100 million years?” Hawking did not answer Jiang Chen's question directly, but threw another question.

”Are dinosaurs civilized?” Jiang Chen asked.

”Are ants civilized? Are bees civilized? Do birds in the sky have their own society? Maybe there are, but we don't understand them, or we never pay attention to them. ” Hawking shrugged and said, ”arrogance is one of the attributes of civilization. Those who are weaker than us become slaves, and those who are weak enough to become food are regarded as insects.”

At this point, Hawking suddenly grinned.

”We are lucky that at least our civilization has caught the attention of our neighbors and has not been ignored as a dispensable bug.”

”You call it luck?” Jiang Chen said with a bitter smile.

He's more appealing to the bugs to treat him as a bug than to kill him over a distance of 20.5 light years.

”Lucky, of course. The Indians had at least a chance to fight back against the European colonists, but would worms have that chance? Stop, look, you almost trampled that little life to death. ” Hawking stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Chen. Under Jiang Chen's surprised eyes, he pointed to his feet. ”Yes, I mean the ant. If it wasn't for my reminding, you didn't even notice. You don't communicate with it, you don't care what it's thinking about, and you don't pay attention to whether they have made technological breakthroughs in nesting technology. ”

With that, Hawking grinned and squatted down. He picked up a dead branch and put it in front of an ant.

The little ant was puzzled by the sudden obstacles, and its tentacles swayed back and forth. Finally, it chose to go around by the side

”We have been taught a lot of common sense, but common sense is often a pronoun for prejudice.”

Turning his head, Hawking looks at Jiang Chen.

”Do you think it's going to think about why this branch is in front of him?”

”Do you think I should answer this question philosophically or scientifically?” Jiang Chen is helpless.

I'm not an ant. How can I know if it knows that this branch will be in front of him?

Hawking laughed, turned his head, looked at the ant walking around the branch, and continued.

”It has nothing to do with philosophy and science. If we have to say it, it should be cosmology.”

Jiang Chen felt his mouth twitch.

”Cosmology?”

”Yes. The definition of cosmology is the study of the universe as a whole and extends to the discussion of the status of human beings in the universe. It is neither philosophy nor science, but both are somewhat different. ”

With that, Hawking reached out and picked up two branches, blocked the ants on both sides and surrounded them.

”If you had come an hour earlier, you should have been sitting in the classroom and listening to me tell the Fermi paradox and the story that the cosmic sieve had to tell. But it's a pity that you missed that interesting public elective class. But it's not too late yet. If you invite me to a pine cone pie, I -- ”
